Garage duo The Kills make a welcome return after 2003's rock and blues hybrid album 'Keep On Your Mean Side', with the brand new single 'Good Ones'.

Here we find The Kills at their most "feel-good", as 'Good Ones' combines their usual blend of spiky blues riffage and fuzzy, amp hiss. Only the two-some now have disco in the veins and a desire to include basic drum machines and a rhythmic, danceable approach.

This track will please both current fans and be favoured on the dance-floor alike, which is something you'd never expect to hear from the pair. The combo's second album 'No Wow', is released on February 21st.
